The Corries --- The Black Douglas

[RedJoker]

Haha, heard this on last.fm ^^

[Insperato62]

The Bruce certainly had single minded determination (in common with other Normans) - he could smell the prize of a Throne.

[robsargent4]

@Insperato62 although don't forget his Mammy was from Carrick (South Ayrshire) & because he had a claim to the throne through his paternal ancestry, he must've been descended from the Gaelic Kings of Alba, as well as having a good splattering of Norman in him.

[Stvmulligan]

I am from the Douglas clan..time to rise

[ScotsLyon]

The "Guid Sir James" and "The Bruce" The two best Scots ever.

If I could go back in time and meet anyone i wanted it would be these two.

Their single minded determination and the deeds they done to ensure independence where just incredible.

[kirkie501]

Aye did seem to end quickly perhaps the wee nyaff had ran out of curse words or maybe his mum took the computer off him

[MrNikodemus2]

i wonder what happened between the fighting chaps below? can anyone say?  just wondering. intense interchange....

[sirderam1]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Unlike you, I'm not stupid enough to publish personal details on the internet. What a dope! But don't worry, I know your name and roughly where you are. I'll be able to find you from that. You'll know me well enough when you see me. And I'll know you - you'll be the pasty-faced wee nyaff in the cheap shell suit.

This much I will tell you; I'm only minutes away. We'll chat soon.

[sirderam1]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Whifflets? That little shithole! Just tell me where and when you go to sign on.

And don't be too sure about the "wee" bit - unless you think 6' 3'' and 16+ stones is wee.

[sirderam1]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon

So give us your name and address then, you embarassing litle toad.

But before you do - know that I am a Scot, living in Scotland, with an ancestor who fought beside Bruce at Bannockburn and signed The Declaration of Arbroath - and I might just come and get you.

Scotland can do without little, mean, small minded people like you. I don't even know why I waste the time replying to the likes of you except that you shame every true Scot, and Scotland, by your very existence.

[Roddy1873]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon Tell me you are kidding me on? When did the Western Isles of Scotland become part of Canada? As for your other erudite comments- good for you- brave fella behind a keyboard.

[Roddy1873]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon You are just an embarassment to all who count themselves as Gaels and Scots. How many of your family emigrated to the States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand and established themselves as a family on other shores? I have several- that decanted during the troubled times that I am very glad to be able to identify now as being my cousins. SaorAlba- tell us all about your link to the Ghàidhealtachd that you have so shamed?

[escottfitzpatrick]

WOW, what a song, they dont pull any punches do they?

[newsatone]

Was the "spears of Liddesdale the Armstrongs ?

[gaconnochie]

@newsatone Various Border names were in situ in Liddesdale. Most obviously Armstrongs and Elliots.

[USAsoldier1955]

@SaorAlbaComingSoon = Queer Bampot

"....You can't be both...." OFLOL!

So you can't be both a Scot, a man, intelligent, heterosexual, and have a clean arse? OK! :D

I'll let you be "either one or the other"! WHAT A HOOT!!!!!! :D

And you want to f*#k me? Sorry, FagLad, I'm a happily married heterosexual male! :D

Alba Rubbed Sore! :D

[silverarrowslk]

@USAsoldier1955 What an ignorant comment that bitter bigoted trash saoralbacomingsoon made. Not all Scots people are like that :-)

[USAsoldier1955]

@silverarrowslk + Thanks, and God Bless Scotland! :)

[untitled06]

A douglas here. Proud to be.

[ObiShayri2009]

This song is still braw

The Corries forever

[va2gin]

wondering about a Douglas n Clyde connection from 18th century,

[yermaww94]

What a song. Lyrics have such spirit. God bless Scotland and her allies

[MacIain82]

One of Scotland's greatest military commanders. And he was known all over what is now called Europe.

[AlbaSiar]

One of the finest Knights in the whole of Europe in his day , and a true patriot.

[USAsoldier1955]

Proud to be a Douglas,

Proud to be Scots,

Proud to be English,

Proud to be Ulster,

Proud to be Welsh,

Proud to be BRITISH

Proud to be French Huguenot

Proud to be German Lutheran -- Proud to be a BRITISH AMERICAN Lutheran Christian! :)

[silverarrowslk]

@USAsoldier1955 Great comment ... : -)

[jagopgirl]

Go Clan Douglas!

[Taysidethistle]

hell, chucking Roberts heat (in a case) in to the midst of the saracens and following onto his death- what a w`y to go!!!!!

[PeteSLF]

god bless JIMMY CLARKSON

[14generationSCOT]

I am a Wallace tracing back to William Wallace (the schoolmaster of Stirling, not Braveheart), but I also have Douglas ancestry 14 generations back. This song has an incredible power to move me. Everyone with Scottish ancestry owes the Black Douglas a debt for his role in the fight for freedom.

[jmparkhill]

I too am descended from Douglas Ancestry and De Brus also



[bigbuffler]

Ah'm a Dougla me'se'--brings tears to me eyes!!!!

[BuddyFantastic]

Great song

Lovely tune

Brilliant musicians.

[fanoel77]

Love the sounds, does something for us over here in NZ.

[woodiestv]

Beautiful, such talented men. I only have the Traditional album that i downloaded a few days a go, it's so pleasant
